Why
  1. The study's title name Community-Acquired Pneumonia, a narrower term within Pneumonia.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own title. Of 46 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 72% were exactly right and 89% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 4% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

Pneumonia is a common health problem.This thesis may clarify whether early mobilization influence the time these patients are hospitalized, whether they are rehospitalized and whether it is possible to reduce the mortality rate.

Read the detailed description

Pneumonia is a common health problem. More than 100,000 Danes contract pneumonia every year, and around 15,000 of these are hospitalized. The main treatment is antibiotics. An American study indicates that patients who are mobilized early are hospitalized for a shorter period of time. The objective of the thesis is: to determine the effect of mobilization within 24 hours after hospitalization of patients with pneumonia. The result will be number of hospitalization days, rehospitalisation and mortality.

Patients with pneumonia hospitalized in the period 1 September 2012 - 28 February 2013 in the Medical Centre, lung unit 204B at Vendsyssel Hospital will be included in the project. Within the first 24 hours of hospitalization, they will be tested by a physiotherapist and mobilized.

There are significant costs associated with the treatment of patients with pneumonia - both economic costs and human costs. This thesis may clarify whether early mobilization influence the time these patients are hospitalized, whether they are rehospitalized and whether it is possible to reduce the mortality rate.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 8, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
